CIVIL ENGINEERING

URBAN DESIGN AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE Every great architectural or engineering project starts with thoughtful land planning and site design. BergerABAM believes that integrated site design that is mindful of sustainability and the surrounding environment can influence the performance of buildings, reduce the impacts of development, create safe public spaces, and promote a greater sense of community.

Our landscape and urban designers listen to and work with our clients to design projects that successfully blend landscape and built environments. Our health care, parks and trails, recreation, and streetscape expertise grows out of our varied urban design and landscape practice.
